wtf is this i love metal nonsense

also would u take anyone seriously who liked ny and texas rap but not southern and cali rap? that kind of thing doesn't seem like it would really happen in rap unless there was some head who was just super deep into one region.

xp yes i agree w/that

rolling frat rap thread

maybe it would help if you thought of the rolling metal subgenre threads as their equivalent to the rolling lil b/rolling gucci mane threads

has anyone told the people who post to rolling metal that metal sucks

feel like it might clear up some of this

jjj: take a cue from yr buddy DJP and resign angrily, "let the terrorists win" and go enjoy your life, marriage, and freedom to engage in clusterfucks as a free agent!!!!!!

yeah but see like i said upthread there i didnt abdicate or sign away my "dude who posts on ilx however he wants" rights when i agreed to be a mod so i can actually clusterfuck as much as want imo, so i dont really need to do any resigning to say whatever.

also thats my groomsman DJP thank you very much.

also people saying "hey metal dudes if you have a rolling thread you dont need any other threads" is uh totally ridic

maybe it would help if you thought of the rolling metal subgenre threads as their equivalent to the rolling lil b/rolling gucci mane threads

gucci mane isn't a sub genre

news to me

if you would prefer every metal band and album should just get it's own thread you should really say so

feel that claiming there should be only one rolling metal thread makes about as much sense as saying there should only be one rolling rock thread

mmmm, rolling rock

i if you would prefer every metal band and album should just get it's own thread you should really say so

i would prefer this

actually i would prefer it if there were a whole separate board for metal

lets give it a fun name too

eh i'm not saying this at all

i would gently suggest that subgenres work differently in metal and there's a lot more disparity.

I know jordan didn't campaign about deleting the metal board, so this isn't aimed at him at all, but the rest of you who did campaign to delete the metal board really shouldn't be complaining if there's more metal (or any type of music) threads now on ILM.

well you see, if you did this, the threads wouldn't stick to the top of the board because all the posting would be incredibly fractured & the threads wouldn't gather enough posts to stay that omnipresent (i.e. bee ok making a separate thread for 50 diff pitchfork indie albums, each thread getting 8 posts, and those threads falling off new answers w/in a day)

i campaigned to keep the metal board so i could hide all the threads

the real culprit here is SNA, destroy SNA

your pain must be terrible i sympathize w/u and ur family xpost

this is just dumb i.e. a perfect reason for a metal board

john, you know that someone who moderates a message board isn't really in the position to go "lol you care about things that happen on a message board" right?

htf is sna a problem for ppl idgi

in the old days of ilx when i first posted (2001?) threads had categories and sinkah was in charge of that. But i dont think anyone would volunteer now for it, but if it did exist, then i guess you could have hidden specific types BUT most of those campaigning against sub-boards did so because they wanted all music on one board so people could see every thread.

j0rdan there's only 5 metal threads there. surely thats no big deal?

As a metal fan, I know that yes there's lots of subgenres and they don't exactly line up with rap

As an ILX user I know that diarrheaing up the front page with a hair-splitting contest looks terrible and is useful to no one. The metal thread was fine ffs

theoretically no -- but if they're constantly at the top of new answers then it would seem to indicate to me that all the discussion could either be condensed into one thread or into one board

As maybe one of the only goon/metal dudes on ilx I'm gonna have to side firmly with team goon that this is totally useless and only serves to make more .xls metal posting on ilx even more excruciating

it moved too fast and stuff got lost. You start loads of threads whiney so i dont see why it bothers you. Noone is saying all hip hop threads should remain in one thread. You would hate that (and rightly so)

xps

haha jordan sorry you might sprain yer scrolling finger getting past 5-10 metal threads i should def be more sensitive as a mod.

goons, what do you think of san te always starting new rap threads

How come when me or jon Williams try to ruin ilx we get banned, but when Algerian Goalkeeper does it, the mods think it's cuet

Let me start 12 polls about it, that should help

wow dude

haha jordan sorry you might sprain yer scrolling finger getting past 5-10 metal threads i should def be more sensitive as a mod.

the funny thing about this is that i thought i had fucked up my right index finger, went & got x rays on it and was told that i had "trackpad finger", so i'm v sensitive to your post

if noone wants a separate metal board then all metal threads are done on ILM. it's as simple as that. If you dont like them dont read them. Noone is going around telling goons to stop making threads. ILM is supposed to be for everyone as was made clear by people who were against a sub-board which included those who do like metal and those who dont.

xp

i tried to ruin ilx? haha get real. I was not the person who set out to ruin a sub-board.

Whiney otm tho

goons, what do you think of san te always starting new rap threads

― dayo, Monday, March 21, 2011 12:15 AM (3 minutes ago) Bookmark

it depends -- when he starts threads about non-current rap i don't have a problem w/ it, but otherwise i think it's stupid

one of the less irritatingly excessive aspects of his posting style

srs question - why does what you think matter at all about how other people start threads tho? xpost

whiney - wasn't it this time last year when we were complaining about a buttload of crappy bracket polls

It's not that ilx hates metal it's that it hates shitty threads. Youre like trying to fuck kids at a birthday party and going "why do you hate clowns?"

i'm not saying it does, which is why i don't go around complaining about threads any more than the average high-volume ilx poster

Xpost lol yes. whiney g, ilx neat freak! :)

after lining up the stuffed animals in order by size?

fwiw i really hate it when people start a lot of stupid threads

Lol remember "ilx listening club" that was fun for a week
